Chapter 302: Is it true if you admit it yourself?

Chapter 302: Is it true if you admit it yourself?

There was no telling what was in Zhuang Wei's dark eyes, with a hint of strange color, either good or evil.

"Father expected my cousin to be outraged."

"He has advised that assisting the prince is the most important thing, and the rest can be put aside. Prince Li's return to the capital is just around the corner, and with a powerful enemy at hand, now is the time to use people. If the prince can get the help of Lord Ning, it will be like adding wings to a tiger, and the court situation will be settled."

Ning Yunxi smiled coldly, her eyes were desolate, beautiful and sad.

"If Prince Chen doesn't fall, how can the Emperor allow Prince Li to return to the capital?"

"You also think that big brother has a strategy to target Feng Zhengtai? Ha, I thought I was the only fool in the world who had such an idea."

Zhuang Wei saw through it at a glance and pointed it out directly.

"Since my cousin believes in him, why do you have to deny it?"

The morning glow gradually became warmer, but there was endless coldness in Ning Yunxi's eyes. She smiled bitterly and tried her best not to be moved.

"In my previous life, I believed in him all my life, but what about him? He set up a huge chess game just to take my life."

"If I continue to believe him, I will be the most foolish person in the world. In this life, I will never do such a foolish thing again!"

Zhuang Wei's face was covered with confusion.

"Cousin, don't you understand why he is willing to surrender?"

Ning Yunxi's mood couldn't help but stir up a ripple.

"So it sounds like you guys are also worried?"

Zhuang Wei responded as a matter of course.

"If you think about something that is clear, why worry too much?"

Ning Yunxi laughed bitterly at herself.

"The one he loves is the Minister Du."

Zhuang Wei was surprised and did not agree.

"Master Du?"

"Where does this fallacy come from?"

Thinking of her older brother looking down on her, Ning Yunxi felt discouraged and frustrated and sighed.

"It's not a fallacy. He admitted it himself."

Zhuang Wei asked back with a faint smile.

"If you admit it yourself, does that mean you are telling the truth?"

Ning Yunxi couldn't laugh and asked a rhetorical question.

"It's more real than what we imagined, isn't it?"

Zhuang Wei pointed it out respectfully.

"Excuse me, but my cousin is too stubborn about Lord Ning's affairs."

Ning Yunxi did not change his mind, and spoke every word carefully and seriously.

"You are just being stubborn and have no basis for your own thoughts!"

"I am his sister. We have been living together as a family since we were young, just like you are siblings. There is no difference."

Zhuang Wei had no choice but to give in.

"My cousin doesn't want to understand, so I should understand."

"I'd like to ask my cousin to help me with my father's request. I have something important to do, so I'll leave first."

Ning Yunxi couldn't help but be curious.

"Is it important?"

Zhuang Wei stood up and bowed without saying anything more.

"It's irrelevant to the overall situation, so let's not talk about it. Please go ahead, cousin. I'll take my leave."

Ning Yunxi stood up immediately afterwards.

"Well, be careful on the road. I will visit the Teng Mansion and take care of this matter."

Zhuang Wei bowed and left cautiously.

"Yes, thank you cousin."

Ning Yunxi left a message for Qiu Bi, telling her where she was going, and then got on a carriage and headed for Teng Mansion.

It was still early and not yet busy with work. Teng Yuru and his family had just woken up and had finished washing up.

The three of them sat down in the dining room and were about to have breakfast when they heard a servant shout, "Princess Yuexi is here!"

After looking at each other in silence, the three of them stood up together and greeted him respectfully.

"Please be blessed, my lady."

Seeing that their courtesy was too great, Ning Yunxi hurriedly responded with a salute and then extended a hand to help.

"No need to be formal, please get up quickly."

Teng Yuru smiled slightly and gestured for invitation.

"Have you had breakfast, Princess? I hope you don't mind the simple meal. Please take a seat, Princess."

Ning Yunxi smiled back.

"I've already eaten. It's busy, so I can't delay. Just eat and don't worry about me."

The four of them sat down one after another, and Ning Yunxi explained their purpose.

"I am here only to ask Lord Teng to cancel the meeting at noon and discuss it later."

As he said this, he looked at Teng Elan with guilt.

"I'm really sorry that I have to delay your family reunion because of some trivial matters."

Teng Elan is frank and natural, without any hypocrisy.

"The princess is concerned about this, it is definitely not a trivial matter, I should cooperate and will not complain."

Teng Yuru put down his chopsticks and behaved respectfully.

"The princess has given instructions and has made her own plans. Forgive me for asking, but is it just that we don't want to hold a banquet to meet them, or is it that we want to put the plan of welcoming them into the mansion on hold for the time being?"

The wind blows outside the window, willow catkins flutter, and Ning Yunxi's face is reflected on her back, adding a touch of tranquility.

"Well, let's put it aside. I will inform them later and ask them to live in Gao Mansion peacefully and just think of themselves as Lord Feng's biological parents."

There was a drizzle in Wei Chushuang's eyes, and a hint of worry.

"Mr. Feng is so talented that Mr. Feng and Mrs. Feng are afraid they can't keep it secret."

Teng Yuru had a worried look on his face, filled with sadness.

"Madam, what you said is absolutely right. If Lord Feng intends to harm us, Mr. and Mrs. Feng will inevitably be in danger. May I ask, Princess, do you have any countermeasures?"

Teng E-lan was full of worries and had no appetite.

Their eyes were burning, showing how anxious they were. Ning Yunxi thought about it for a moment and immediately came up with an idea.

"Aunt Feng was so exhausted during her exile that she became ill and could not recover for a long time. Whenever she was sick, Lord Feng would stay away from her and would not meet her. Even if he just heard her cough, his face would be filled with disgust."

"Qiu Bi couldn't bear to see my mother suffer so much, so she asked me to help with the treatment. I have already started the treatment and it is starting to work. I will tell Aunt Feng about this when I go to see her today. Please pretend to be ill. As long as Master Feng doesn't see them, he won't notice anything wrong."

"To be on the safe side, I will leave some pills for Aunt Feng to take when necessary. An ordinary doctor's pulse check is enough to deceive the public. In addition, you three can rest assured that the pills I use are safe and will not harm Aunt Feng's body."

When Teng E'lan heard this, her worries disappeared and she smiled without any worries.

"Thank you for your concern, Princess."

Ning Yunxi stared at Rouran.

"It should."

Seeing that her daughter had not yet started eating, Wei Chushuang personally picked up some food for her and patiently comforted her.

"Enjoy your meal, Lan'er. I'll go to the Supervisory Office later and tell Lord Gao Nan to take good care of Mr. and Mrs. Feng and keep them safe."

Teng Elan smiled obediently and returned the favor with a cup of tea.

"Thank you mother."

Thinking back to what Zhuang Wei had said, Ning Yunxi took a sip of tea and remained silent for a long time before she spoke.

"My elder brother has retired to Zhexi Mountain. I would like to trouble Lord Teng and Lord Xie to keep him under strict supervision."

Teng Yuru finished his breakfast quickly.

"Yes. The princess has instructed me several times, and I have kept it in mind. Sir Xie and I will personally carry out the plan of confinement you have set up, and will not delegate it to others."

Ning Yunxi was unsure and added a sentence.

"I have one more thing to ask of you."

Teng Yuru smiled and nodded.

"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."

Ning Yunxi hesitated for a while, but finally said it.

"If he has any plan, please be sure to pass it on to me, my Lords."

Teng Yuru stared in amazement.

"Hmm? The princess clearly emphasized before that no matter what he said, even if he talked about plotting to seize Feng Zhengtai, she would ignore him and absolutely not believe him."

Ning Yunxi lowered her eyes, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Change it, give him a chance."

Teng Yuru looked completely confused.

"Why change so suddenly?"

Wei Chushuang reminded quietly.

"The princess gave the order, and the master just listened to it. Why are you talking so much?"

When Teng Yuru heard this, he quickly bowed in agreement.

"Yes."
